The central dogma of biological homochirality: How does chiral information propagate in a prebiotic network?
S. Furkan Ozturk, Dimitar D. Sasselov, John D. Sutherland
Biological systems are homochiral, raising the question of how a racemic mixture of prebiotically synthesized biomolecules could attain a homochiral state at the network level. Bas…
Origin of Biological Homochirality by Crystallization of an RNA Precursor on a Magnetic Surface
S. Furkan Ozturk, Ziwei Liu, John D. Sutherland +1
Homochirality is a signature of life on Earth yet its origins remain an unsolved puzzle. Achieving homochirality is essential for a high-yielding prebiotic network capable of produ…
The Origin of RNA Precursors on Exoplanets
Paul Brandon Rimmer, Jianfeng Xu, Samantha Thompson +3
Given that the macromolecular building blocks of life were likely produced photochemically in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light, we identify some general constraints on which…
Sulfidic Anion Concentrations on Early Earth for Surficial Origins-of-Life Chemistry
Sukrit Ranjan, Zoe R. Todd, John D. Sutherland +1
A key challenge in origin-of-life studies is understanding the environmental conditions on early Earth under which abiogenesis occurred. While some constraints do exist (e.g., zirc…
